The Pain of Growing Up

All he can see
is the shine in her eyes

All she can see
are the scars on her wrist

Not knowing the love
that was felt for her

By all around
but she didn't know

Her family at home
told her she wasn't good enough

She felt the pain
physically and mentally

The pain
of growing up

The pain
of not being enough

The pain
of wanting out

The pain
of being unwanted

The pain
of failure

The pain
of the bad

The pain
of her blood

Dripping down her wrists
dripping to the floor
